Episode 3: Marie Ann Watson (Part 2)

February 19, 2016

In the second episode of our three part series on Marie Watson, we discuss Ramon Rogers. In 1996, Ramon was found guilty of the murders of two ex-girlfriends. He is currently on death row at San Quentin prison in California. Ramon is the adopted son of Michael and Dorothy Rogers, who are suspected in Marie Watson’s 1977 disappearance.

The horrific nature of his crimes gave detectives back in Idaho enough momentum to dig up Ramon’s former home: the house where Dorothy still lived in Emmett. Led by Detective Tom Nesbitt, who we spoke to for this series, the dig began underneath the Rogers property.

We communicated with Ramon Rogers via mail for this series. He maintains his own innocence and that of his adoptive parents.
